A study documents a correlation between cyanobacteria levels in source water and taste and odour events in drinking water. An outcome is that the level of blue-green algae affected the concentration of 2-methylisoborneol (MIB), the compound frequently associated with taste and odour events, and concluded that these events may be averted or minimised by monitoring reservoirs, lakes, rivers and ...

The patented LG Sonic MPC ensures fast and efficient algae control by combining online water quality monitoring, telemetering and ultrasonic technologies to provide the state-of-the-art treatment against algae and cyanobacteria in ponds, lakes and dams. Under the 7th framework program from the European Commission, LG Sound ...

The patented LG Sonic MPC ensures fast and efficient algae control by combining online water quality monitoring, telemetering and ultrasound technology to provide the state-of-the-art treatment against algae and cyanobacteria in ponds, lakes and dams. As algae types change during seasons, the ultrasonic treatment needs to be adjusted accordingly. To remain highest efficiency, the new interactive ...

A target level of 20 micrograms of phosphorus per litre of lake water could help keep many lakes safe for recreation by restricting the growth of harmful algal blooms, European research suggests. The scientists analysed the relationship between phosphorus levels in medium- and high-alkalinity lakes, the growth of cyanobacteria blooms and the concentrations of cyanobacteria that trigger World ...

LG Sound is going to attend the Inter-Water Australia conference which takes place from 15-16 October in Melbourne, Australia. The conference will be addressing issues related to water efficiency, water quality and water risk. On Thursday 16th of October our representative, Lisa Brand, will give a presentation about our latest technology, the MPC-Buoy® to monitor, predict, prevent and control ...

Amid mounting agreement that future clean, “carbon-neutral”, energy will rely on efficient conversion of the sun’s light energy into fuels and electric power, attention is focusing on one of the most ancient groups of organism, the cyanobacteria. Dramatic progress has been made over the last decade understanding the fundamental reaction of photosynthesis that evolved in cyanobacteria 3.7 billion ...

The MPC- Buoy improved the water quality in a drinking water reservoir in the UK. The drink water company Sembcorp Bournemouth Water (SBW) has announced in a press release that after the installation of the MPC-Buoy a ‘dramatic ...

On Wednesday, April 13, 2011, the American Water Works Association (AWWA) will host the Algae Source to Treatment: Sampling Methods, Online Monitoring, and Cyanobacteria webcast. Part one of a two-part series, the webcast will review the most common and problematic algae in surface water supplies, including cyanobacteria or blue-green algae. The webcast will focus on identifying sampling and ...

Matrix Genetics ("Matrix"), a biotechnology company focused on producing renewable fuels and specialty chemicals derived from cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) announced today that Spokane, Wash. based Avista Development, Inc. has invested in the company. Avista Development is the venture arm of Avista Corp. (NYSE: AVA), an energy company involved in the production, transmission and ...

Blue-green algae, or ‘aquatic cyanobacteria’, can produce harmful toxins and present a serious health hazard when they bloom in large numbers. Researchers from Germany have now identified plant species that could be used to sustainably treat water by removing such cyanobacterial toxins. Cyanobacteria are common in water bodies with high nutrient load. Some cyanobacteria can ...

At this moment, LG Sound is attending the Biennial WISA Conference & Exhibition on water innovation in Mbombela, South Africa. The aim of the WISA (Water Institute of Southern Africa) is to provide a forum for the exchange of information to improve the water resource management in Southern Africa. During the conference we give two seminars about our latest innovations. Do you want to ...

Sapphire Energy, Inc., one of the world leaders in algae-based crude oil production, today announced it has entered into a licensing agreement with Earthrise Nutritionals LLC, a producer of spirulina and spirulina-based products for over 25 years. Sapphire Energy will integrate Earthrise ...

LG Sonic is going to exhibit during the IWA Brisbane World Water Congress & Exhibition in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. IWA Brisbane World Water Congress & Exhibition 2016 will be attended by water and environmental professionals from over 100 countries. The congress and exhibition will offer new insights in scientific and technological innovations in the water management sector. IWA ...

Plants may be a useful tool in clearing water of harmful toxins produced by blue-green algae, new research indicates. Some blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) — which grow in warm, nutrient-rich waters — produce toxins that can severely damage the liver or nervous system. The effects of the toxins range from a mild illness to rapid death. They can remain in water supplies after the algae have been ...

LG Sound is going to attend the annual International Water Association (IWA) conference which will take place from 21-25 September in Lisbon, Portugal. The theme of this year’s conference is ‘Shaping our water future’. On Thursday 25th of September our representative, Falco Aguilar, will give a presentation about our latest technology, the MPC-Buoy® to monitor, predict, ...

LimnoTech’s Ed Verhamme will be a presenter at an upcoming webinar titled “Real-Time HABs Sensors for Drinking Water Treatment.” Brenda Snyder of the University of Toledo and Paul Nieberding of Fondriest Environmental will also be presenting. This webinar will discuss how Harmful Algal Bloom (HABs) sensors are used in water treatment plants across Ohio to monitor for the ...

Chelsea Technologies Group will once again be exhibiting and presenting at the Challenger Society for Marine Science Conference & Mini-Expo at the University of East Anglia, 3-5th September. Veronica Chan, one of Chelsea’s experts on active fluorescence techniques, will be presenting a paper entitled "How recent technological advances have enhanced and extended the applications for ...

Cyanobacteria — often referred to as blue-green algae — are found in water bodies around the world and can produce toxins with potential health risks. This US-wide study found a significant positive association between cyanobacterial bloom coverage and death by non-alcoholic liver disease. The researchers say their study suggests some evidence of a potential health risk and should be ...

Another 2 containerised UV disinfection packages are set to leave the atg UV Technology production facility today. These particular packages will be treating 1,300 m3/hr and 350 m3/hr of low quality surface water. The mobile, turn-key packages built within a 30ft and 20ft container, include a 40 micron filtration package followed by an ultra-compact, high output medium pressure UV ...
